OMNI, Combined Solar Wind Plasma Moments and Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) Time-Shifted to the Nose of the Earth's Bow Shock, plus Geomagnetic Indices, 1 min Data

Metadata Updated: February 6, 2026

Near-Earth Heliospheric Data, OMNI, Definitive Multispacecraft Interplanetary Parameters Data, 1 min averagedAdditional information for all parameters are available from OMNI Data Documentation: https://omniweb..sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/html/HROdocum.htmlNew data may be accesible via the Space Physics Data Facility, SPDF, OMNIWeb Service: https://omniweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/ow_min.htmlThe Modified (Level-3) High Resolution OMNI data files are made in the same format as the OMNI files based on SWE Key Parameter data. There are a few differences between old and new high resolution OMNI data sets: 1) In the newly modified Level-3 OMNI data files, we used the Wind SWE plasma definitive data rather than the Wind SWE plasma KP-despiked data. Using the definitive data give us possibility to include the Alpha/Proton Density Ratio and to use more accurate plasma parameters. However, the time coverage in the new OMNI data was decreased by from 2% to 10%. See the data description at https://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/data/omni/high_res_omni/modified/. For detail comparison 1 min SWE definitive and cross-normalized SWE Key Parameter data sets, see https://omniweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftpbrowser/wind_pla_def_kp_norm.html. 2) To keep the number of words and the record lengths the same as in the old OMNI high resolution data set, we replaced the PCN Index (word #45) in the ASCII records with the new Alpha/Proton Density Ratio parameter. 3) The latest date for these new data is usually behind of the OMNI based on SWE_KP data.Modifications: 1) Conversion to ISTP/IACG CDFs via SKTEditor, February 2000* 2) Time tags in CDAWeb version were modified to use the CDAWeb convention of having mid-average time tags rather than OMNI original convention of start-of-average time tags, March 2005
